Susan Glasser, the former editor of\xa0Politico and\xa0Foreign Policy, writes the "Letter from Washington" column for the\xa0The New Yorker. Her most recent book, written with Peter Baker, is\xa0The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a great benefit to leaving Washington and then coming back, or frankly leaving anywhere and then coming back. I think you have much wider open eyes. Washington, like a lot of company towns, takes on a logic of its own, and things that can seem crazy to the rest of the country, to the rest of the world, somehow end up making more sense than they should when you\u2019re just doing that all day long, every day.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@sbg1\n\nGlasser on Longform\n\nGlasser\u2019s\xa0New Yorker\xa0archive\n\n05:00\xa0\u201cThe Year We Stopped Being Able to Pretend About Trump\u201d\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Dec 2023)\n\n16:00\xa0Glasser\u2019s\xa0Politico\xa0archive\n\n\n20:00\xa0The Man Who Ran Washington\xa0(Glasser and Peter Baker \u2022 Anchor \u2022 2021)\n\n28:00\xa0Peter Baker's\xa0New York Times\xa0archive\n\n\n29:00\xa0Kremlin Rising\xa0(Glasser and Peter Baker \u2022 Scribner \u2022 2005)\n\n37:00Theo Baker on the Longform Podcast\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
